Therapeutic approaches that suit online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values. It often helps with anxiety, depression and navigating big life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships shape current patterns and supports people working through trust, closeness and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and personal style. That choice can shift over time as issues change and progress is made.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to use mindfulness exercises, behavioural tasks and skills coaching between meetings, which supports ongoing practice in daily life.
